Hate List

Monday, November 30, 2009

Hello my friends, I hope you like this new skin. One more month till the end of this blog hoho.

Today, I shall present to you something regarding my job. The reason is because I encountered many of such nuisances today and I feel this immense need to blog this. So here goes..

Top 10 Types of Customers I Hate:

10. People who thinks I'm a Malay even after I said I am a Chinese.

Scenario: Chinese auntie walks in, looks at me with a slightly puzzled face, and say "You Chinese?" I nod and say yes. Then she says "You look like a Malay to me leh. You understand Chinese or not?"

Eh wtf auntie, I TOLD you I am a freaking Chinese and I understand and can speak and can write Chinese for crying out loud. Can't a Chinese be tanned?

9. People who complain that the place is messy.

Scenario: A family walks in, and while looking for their own stuff, one of them says "This Giant is so messy lor!"

Eh wtf, who're the ones making it messy day by day, pulling bedsheets and curtains out of their covers then shoving them in any old way down the shelves?
Who're the ones unfolding our towels, have a look then toss them back into the pile?
Who're the ones who tries on shirts and bermudas, pulling them off their hangers and hooks and never bothering to put them back, strewn all over the whole place?
Me ah? Siao.

8. People who think that temporary staffs don't knw anyth.

Scenario: Auntie walks in, asks me a question, then seeing the huge "TEMPORARY STAFF" tag I have on my shirt, proceeded to say "Aiya, you temporary staff, you don't knw one la!"

Wow auntie, if you think that I don't knw anyth then please spot the huge tag before you ask me your bloody question. Don't want temporary staff then self-service please. I have better things to do.

7. People who ask me a question, then doubt what I say.

Scenario: Bangla walks in, asks me where do we keep something. "Upstairs" I say, to which the bangla replied "Here don't have?" I shake my head and say "upstairs" again. Then bangla repeats, "upstairs?" I have to say the third time, "yes, UPSTAIRS" before the light dawns on the bangla to get upstairs and look for his bloody stuff.

Excuse me, is it that you don't understand the English that I speak, or what? Are you the Giant staff, or am I the staff? You don't believe what I say then go look for it yourself la!

6. People who tell me to check stocks when I already told them we don't keep stock.

Scenario: Man walks in, looks around. After some time, ask me about a particular item. I say, "We don't have it." He says "Are you sure? Can you please go and check for me? Ask your supervisor can? Cannot be one la."

Hello brother, I said WE DON'T HAVE IT. Checking it out won't make stocks magically appear, asking my supervisor doesn't mean she can miraculously find it under the shelves or something, OKAY.

5. People who don't get why some things are not available at Giant Pioneer Mall.

Scenario: Woman walks in with her kids, asks for a particular item. After I told her that the item is not available at this particular Giant, she says "How can that be?It's in the catalog you knw! Can you please go and check it out?"

Yes, it is in the catalog. Why don't you get you mother to teach you how to read symbols and footnotes too? As for checking it out, please refer to point 6 above.

4. People who complain that we don't sell something.

Scenario: A man carrying a female toddler walks in and asks for kids' underwear. I naturally brought him to the kids panties section since the toddler is a girl. Then he asks for underwear for boys, and I say we don't have it. His wife then say "Huh, you all don't even sell underwear for boys?" Then give me a really dirty look.

Excuse me, is it my fault that we don't sell underwear for boys? What's with the dirty look, I'm not the one to order the goods okay. Get it elsewhere la, Giant the only store on Earth ah.

3. People who think they knw a lot.

Scenario: Two China men walk in, and asks for dish washing liquid in Mandarin. I told them "A few lanes down" in Mandarin, but they don't understand. So I proceeded to leading the way for them. Then one of the men thought I didn't get what they were saying, so he said "Dish washing liquid." I answered "I understand Chinese."

Hey dude, I understand Chinese okay? You're the one who don't get what I am trying to say when it is really just a few lanes down. Don't come show off your English to me I haven't opened my mouth yet, don't push your luck. Lest you don't knw how to answer when I do.

2. People who act like their all high and mighty.

Scenario: China men walking in, one of them talked to me with some ahbeng stance. He demanded for things and can't wait two second for me to open up the box for them. In the end, he didn't want to buy it and just walked away without even a word of thanks.

Excuse me, 同胞. Just because you have a bluetooth headset stuck in one ear, and you have two buttons unbuttoned on your shirt, you think you very hippie? Don't act like a boss around here and talk at the speed of light okay, I don't understand your Mandarin with that kind of accent. Anyw, I hope your mother did teach you to thank people. I swear I was going to poke my penknife into you already.

1. People who are just damn rude.

Scenario: A bunch of banglas want to buy a cooker, one of them asked me about it. Then he wanted to ask the price. As I was checking it out, another bangla came over and shouted at me "price, price, price!"

Hello, I AM CHECKING THE BLOODY PRICE. What will waiting a minute or two cost you huh, it's not like you have any other important thing to do, sarong-donning bangla. Thanks for being understanding that I might not understand your English, but it's okay I do. Anyth not happy, DIY thanks.

Lol, finally done, this is all I can think of right now. Acer would like to give you guys a list too, haha.

Top 10 Things that Suck about Working in Fresh Market:
10. Customers who open up your cartons and snatch up the fruits before you can load them up.

9. Last minute changes to working hours.

8. Loading heavy cartons of fruits and vegetables onto the trolley.

7. Pushing the heavy trolley around.

6. Customers who refuse to take their own plastic bags for their own fruits and vegetables when they want you to weigh it or them.

5. Cartons who bug you to bring out new cartons of fruits e.g. grapes (when there are still ample grapes for them to choose from).

4. Ending work late on Saturdays (11 freaking pm).

3. Ending work even later because cleaning up is ever so slow.

2. Cleaning up the shelves on night shifts (the-ever-muggy-and-full-of-vege-shelves).

1. The glk (a.k.a. guai lan kia. Those who knw it, knw it ;D).
